Yeah I noticed that as well on the close up and have taken it down, and also removed the Reflection node I didn't notice was in there at first. I also took the reflection down on the aged chrome, after all, it don't keep that "polished" look forever.

I'm sure you recognize the leather :o)   I am definately open for more suggestions to modify your shader to fade it and possibly add those tiny cracks that appear after weathering.

I'm learning more about procedurals during this project, and what a doozy it is, there's a million nodes to sort thru and figure out what affects what with what effect. Took me a sec to figure out there was 5 nodes to adjust to modify the amount of rust. But it is a learning experiance after all, and it'll only help me in the long run.
